IRRC I think FYAD were sneaking edits into Wikipedia and seeing how long they would fly under the radar. Ty tried to get AFF permabanned with IP logs and FYAD screenshots and basically AFF was able to gaslight and turn it on Ty by basically acting like a rational human being. Mods agreed it was Ty covering his own actions and banned him and then he killed himself over it.

Let's not kid ourselves - half the wonks on this site would give a kidney to be allowed to moderate. Of the wonks who do become moderators, drat few step down. Of the wonks who are forcibly demodded, a sizeable percentage get fuckin' FURIOUS and flame out. A lot of the ones who've been demodded [angerbeet, Franco, Ralp] still hang around QCS like the Ghosts of Faggots Past, unable to let go of that one time they had a taste of that sweet, sweet Internet clout. FactsAreUseless, our current Ralp-In-Waiting, totally changed all of his opinions the second Lowtax suggested demoddings might happen. Ain't none of those folks hard done by. As depressing as it is, they're living their dreams.

Like, for all the OOOOOHHHHHH THEY DO A HARD JOB IT'S SO THANKLESS I WOULD NEVER BE A MOD patter, it's dudes doing a thing that they'd be doing anyway - sitting on their rear end reading a forum. Hardly arduous. The real reason so many of them go apeshit is because if you give socially isolated weirdos any semblance of power - real or imagined - they immediately get drunk as gently caress and start trying to apply their shiny new hammer to everything that could conceivably be a nail.

I figured everyone hit on BIRD because of her amazing avatar, which is just spectacular.

But on the subject of sagas, would someone mind explaining ? I've gathered it has to do with the old Habbo Hotel invasions, but that's the entire extent of my knowledge.

quote:

An imaginary cult, the result of a hoax-like collaboration of many different goons.

Geno members followed 'The Path', a nebulous spiritual doctrine that had Geno members (all nameless, identified by numbers) shaving their heads and dressing in gray, like depressed monks. Uniformity and the dissolution of identity were all key characteristics of Geno.

Several forumgoers invaded online games and setups like Habbo Hotel with Geno characters, irritating the poo poo out of everyone. At one point, the Geno meme had its own forum and dedicated section of the main SomethingAwful site. As with all forum crazes, it passed into disuse.

What still stands out about the Geno is its familiarity. What makes the Geno annoying and appealing is, we can imagine a cult just like this existing in the real world.

The Path is gray.

May 2016- a guy joined the forums to see about Goonswarm and EVE. He came from Reddit.
He was unprepared for our old-timey ideas like "rules", or "lurking", or "not going on insane angry misogynistic rants".

He made a total of 21 posts, his downfall presented in order here:

I mean I'm sure it's been gone over in this thread but I can't associate SA and wheelchairs with anything but GunChicka and the Post Your Selfie thread.

Beautiful girl in a wheelchair with lots of good tattoos keeps posting in thread, shares increasingly detailed anecdotes about being in a wheelchair, is finally outed as a dude using stolen pics.

I wish I had saved more of the zdr doxx reactions. they were really proud of themselves.





There was a lot more information in this post, I just didn't bother capping it all. After this it took a couple pages of grinning and backslaps before anybody even commented on goatse.



Somebody thought to question the name veracity after this and so they doubled down. zdr was definitely Kirk Johnson. One guy said he could "have eyes on his house by Thursday."



Eventually they figured it out.

Other achievements include riding the beat like a bicycle, being icy cold, and no one could forget how her and her girls stay fly and they love to get high.

I'm a bit slow following up, but I had to go back and read the thread again to be sure of what I was seeing, and to try and understand more of the slang (like "pin" = "inject"). I meant it when I said that I wasn't posting quotes because there were so many I got tired of quoting. Here's what I mean:

From the OP: "Tren - Trenbolone (Acetate/Enanthate). God jerked off into a vial. Lucky you!".

(edit: If I'm reading that abstract correctly, 400mg is a lifetime supply for a 640 pound bull.)

There is much, much more, but I'll take a break at Pheromone Sex Secrets Doctors Don't Want You To Know! (Discovered By a Goon!).

I'm not going to quote the most depressing posts.

I stepped from the shadow. The sound had come again. I was in the alley off 42nd Street in New York. My hand shook slightly with the loaded Beretta in my hand. The sleek pistol was loaded and cocked, ready to fire. I am a private detective. My name is Luke Bavarious. I like this work.
People had been complaining about weird noises coming from the alley for about a year now and we finally decided to see what was going on. I was assigned to stop these noises.
I edged into the dim light. I saw a dark figure sitting on a dumpster, facing away from me. He was sobbing and crying. I raised my Beretta and lined his quivering back up with my bead.
"You there! What are you doing?" I shouted through the darkness.
"Turn around!" I shouted again.
"Beggin' your pardon, but... you don't want me to turn around," it said.
"Sure I do. I got a pistol pointed at your back so ya better," I replied.
"Okay, you asked for it," the thing mumbled as it began to turn around.
A breeze trickled through the alley as it turned and began to come toward me. I couldn't see him yet, he was shaded in the darkness.
"Step out of the dark."
It inched forward. First its combat boots. Then its legs. Then its chest. Then its head. If you call it a head. His face was horrid. There was an abundance of purple scars. There was blood leaking from an empty eye socket and he only had one shriveled ear. There was no nose. There were no lips. Only holes.
I took a step back in astonishment. I gritted my teeth to keep the vomit down.
He took three more steps forward and I saw his tears glisten in the moonlight.
"I told ya," it said.
He screamed and began to run toward me. His stub of a hand was held high in the air and was ready to commence his brutality. I pulled the trigger on my Beretta. The recoil soothed my fear as I heard a shell hit the pavement and saw the lead make another eye socket in the thing's forehead. It kept coming with the assistance of his adrenaline. It had only been a split second before I squeezed off another round into its neck. The thing was inches away as I fired point blank into the thing's throat. Two shells hit the concrete.
His hand smashed my head terribly powerful. Muscles were strained and torn as my head jerked to the side, smashing a window. I fell and landed in jagged glass. Dazed I fired again and again into the thing's chest. I felt the recoil pushing back rhythmically. Shells hitting the pavement. Bullets hitting the monster. Blood showering me. I felt my own blood from the side of my head fall and drip. I kept firing. The magazine was empty. He staggered. I tasted my tears and blood mixed into a horrid cocktail. It fell down next to me. A badge sparkled on the side of his jacket. Bavarious.
I picked up a large piece of broken glass and saw a horrid reflection. Suddenly, I was sobbing.
